The Bombay High Court has issued an interim order stopping filmmaker Vidnyan Mane, a friend of cricketer Smriti Mandhana, from making defamatory statements about singer Palaash Muchhal and his mother online or in the media. Muchhal filed a ₹10 crore defamation case, saying Mane’s claims about financial disputes and his cancelled wedding with Mandhana harmed his reputation. The court noted these remarks could cause serious damage and barred similar comments until further hearings, giving Muchhal temporary legal protection. (PC: India Today)
